Mother's Day Skype with Alexis and Hermana Wingate! |
Yesterday
I got to call home and talk to my mom and Alexis for Mother`s Day! It
was really fun to be able to talk to them in real life (almost). And it
was my last Skype call home in my mission! That is so crazy. They next
time I talk to my mom it will be in real life! I feel like it wasn`t too
long ago that I called home for Christmas, and now I will actually be
home in about 3 months. I feel like time is going by really quickly!

Hermanas outside the Bolivian Temple. |
This
week went really well! We met a girl named A., who told us at first
that she was Catholic (like everyone in Bolivia) and that she doesn`t
like when people switch churches all the time. Buuuut, she said she
likes to listen, and invited us into her house! Then, her mom came down
and talked to us, and said she was also Catholic, but her husband and
her kids don`t want to go to church anymore with her. And then...she
started crying. She said maybe it was a sign from God that we came to
visit her family. That usually her daughter doesn`t talk to any other
churches that come by, but she let us in their home. She said maybe it
was time for a change.
My
companion and I were both tearing up, and you could feel the spirit so
strongly. Things like that don`t happen everyday as missionaries. People
usually don`t want to talk to us, let alone invite us into their homes
and cry in front of us. I really feel like God led us to them. That this
family is ready to receive the gospel. It was one of the most incredible
lessons I`ve had in my entire mission. We have a lesson with them this Wednesday, and I am excited to see them again, and share this gospel.
I
am doing well here in Bolivia, and I am really happy. Thank you to
everyone who has supported
me during this time with prayers and encouraging emails.
